This is the most dangerous fungus in the world and the horrible consequences it has caused

The fungus looks harmless and delicious, but it turns out to be extremely toxic. It is responsible for 90% of deaths from eating poisonous mushrooms.

After heavy rains, a fungus is exploding throughout California in the United States. They were quite large, pale colors, which looked very safe for those who happened to see. In fact, this mushroom when cooked up tastes quite good.

However, that appearance completely obscured the true nature inside, because it is the "death hat" mushroom - or amanita phalloides - one of the most dangerous fungi in the world.

Looks very delicious, but deadly toxicity.

In December 2016, officials in San Francisco, the Bay Area recorded 14 cases of poisoning due to death hat mushrooms. All of them vomited violently, and at the same time organs - especially the liver - were devastated by toxins.

There are 4 male victims who are lucky to pass quite gently when they only have to wash their intestines - the only detoxification method to date. But there were three cases of liver transplantation, and especially an 18-month-old girl had permanent nerve damage.

That time no one died, but according to CDC (the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) is because they haven't . to numbers. Globally, the mushroom "death hat" is responsible for 90% of deaths from eating poisonous mushrooms.

In California alone, there are at least 679 serious cases of poisoning within 11 months from 2015 to 2016. "These mushrooms are quite large, beautiful, eat very well, but can kill people. It contains toxins. cannot be decomposed by temperature " - says North American Mushroom Association expert.

The poisoning agent of the fungus is α-amanitin (amatoxin) , which damages the liver and kidneys to the extent that it cannot be recovered. It is estimated that only 30 grams of amatoxin poison (equivalent to half a mushroom) is enough to kill an adult.

Just 30g of amatoxin poison (equivalent to half a mushroom) is enough to kill an adult.

The most severe case is the 18-month-old girl mentioned above. The family was given a few death hat mushrooms from a stranger while climbing, and then they appeared on the family table. All those who ate that day had severe diarrhea and vomiting a few hours later. But the most frightening part is that toxins will slowly destroy the liver within a few days.

The victims were taken to hospital to eliminate poison. Some members passed away, but there were two people who needed a liver transplant because the part was too much damaged, including the 18-month-old girl. She also developed symptoms of cerebral edema, causing permanent damage to the nervous system.

And as mentioned, there is currently no radical treatment if unfortunately poisoned. So, if you happen to see this mushroom, stay away from it before it's too late.
